188 Episode 81: "Anisphere" (2) (1/2)

”I can spend more time with Yufi around the corner, but I can't do it because I'm so tired.”

”That's what Anis does, so I can't help it.... You're starting to eat really well now?

”Because I'm hungry.”

The treat I'm eating is one that Mrs. Arianna made me with Raini and Ilia. They have a confectionery class because of Raini and Ilia, and a wide variety of confectionery comes out every day. By the way, I was a muffin today.

As far as appetite is concerned, this is how Yufi gives me the extra treat. It's a pleasure for me to be tired of government and craving sugar. Ever since the demon stone was really made, the fuel consumption has been poor, and there has been an increase in picking something during the administration.

Navre scolded me when I was on duty chewing dried meat on boulders. That's good, about dry meat. Royalty says that's not something to eat while on duty either, but I'm gonna miss my mouth...

”On the contrary, Raini turned me to kill when I said that I was going to lose weight...”

”... That's scary, isn't it”

”Yeah......”

I'm not the type of person who eats yuffi and has meat, and I haven't been a fool to consume calories since the demon stone was made. I don't even think Raini is fat, but he gets meat where it's hard to understand! Was annoyed by the tears.

”Ilia says Raini has meat everywhere he leaves...”

”... I see?

Ilia enjoys all kinds of flavors, but she doesn't eat that much in herself, and alcohol is rarely an appetite. So I don't think I care about my shape. Rather, I'm more concerned about Raini's shape until he's baking allechole care.

Or is it really just because there's meat on it? Oh, my God, I think about that.

”... but a little unexpected”

”What is it?

Yufi's making a big deal out of it.

”What does that mean”

Yufi gives me a surprise look over a cup of tea. I stare at Yufi's face as I poke my cheek wand.

”Because His Majesty the Queen thinks it's okay to be so relaxed?

”... I don't deny it”

Yufi smiles bitterly at my words. But the look tightened quickly, too.

”I just thought it was time for me to think about the future, too.”

”Isn't that usual?

”I don't deny that either... but what I'm thinking is about my cauldron”

”When you say the cauldron, you mean the next king candidate?

”Yes, it has been established that the blood of the present royal family will cease even more than the demonic stones have been made.”

”Ugh, don't remind me...”

I also have more dragon demon stones than I have done, and if I were to conceive a child, it is possible that the dragon demon stones would be inherited from the child.

That is difficult to say whether it will be welcomed as royalty of the Kingdom of Palletia. I had to explain it properly to my father and mother too, so I reported it, but they reacted like they said neither of us had the strength to get angry.

”My mother said I was the one who sent them out...”

”How could our own child have had a head like this... Work hard for him properly. I can't really get my head up on my stepmother.”

”That's true...”

I can only truly thank my father and mother for taking on surrogacy while Uffi was away.

”So you're telling me to take the cauldron?

”Yep. It's just a little further… As far as I'm concerned, I'm wondering if we could abolish the royal family.”

”What, that means abolishing the Crown!?”

”I thought I'd look around the current Duke's house, and around the leading Marquis, and decide on a representative, and develop a parliamentary system.”

”... when it comes to demolishing the royal family in boulders, it's going to be rough.”

”Yeah, so in the future I feel I need to work toward that, too, for Congress. That's part of the long vacation I took. In the future, so that Parliament can run the country without the King. I'm going to figure out how much work I can do while I'm away.”

Whatever, well. Was Yufi thinking about that? It's hard to make it happen, but it's also my fault, I suppose. I'm a little sorry.

Do you want to abolish the royal government and make it parliamentary nonetheless? It will be a great turning point in history for the Kingdom of Palletia to lose the symbols that have followed from the founding king, who has so far given the protection of the Spirit.

”I was wondering if Emperor Lukeheim could help me with this move.”

”Will the Aylene Empire also be involved?

”Yep. However, that's looking at the situation in the Aylene Empire, isn't it? I'm not going to be sitting on the throne for too long, because I don't know if all this is going to work.”

”Because the more Uffi reigns on the throne, the more likely the Spiritual Faith is to breathe back.”

”I have trouble being wanted by me, but if anyone wants to replace me, I don't know. It will be important to be prepared for anything. There's one thing like Lylana, so that's not the all-purpose prep...”

”Yeah......”

If I prepare for the future, I won't be ready forever. So we need to build it up as much as we can.

But I don't think it's going to be the same for Uffi to pull his hand and lead the Kingdom of Palletia forever. So one day, the time will come when I will have to give the batons to the next.
